Abstract

A circuit board component layout determination method includes the steps of: (1) simulating the placement of components by a circuit board layout software program; (2) performing a circuit board component layout density analysis to obtain a circuit board component layout density percentage; (3) determining whether or not the simulated placement of components is feasible according to the circuit board component layout density percentage, and if yes, carrying out step (4); and (4) placing the components into the circuit board. The method uses a circuit board layout software program and a spreadsheet or a database to calculate the statistics of an area of a circuit board that can be laid and an area of the circuit board that cannot be laid, so as to analyze and determine the implementability of a component layout, and improve the control, efficiency and cost-effective of the component layout of the circuit board.
